The world database of fungal names (IndexFungorum; aka funindex) contains over 345,000 names of fungi (including yeast, lichens, chromistan fungi, protozoan fungi and fossil forms) at species level and below. It has been derived from a number of published lists including Saccardo’s Sylloge Fungorum (contributed by SBML, USDA), Petrak’s Lists, Saccardo’s Omissions, Lamb’s Index, Zahlbruckner’s Catalogue of Lichens (comprehensive for names at species level only but with an increasing number of names of infraspecific taxa) and CABI’s Index of Fungi.
